Overview

Claiming to be the largest Mahaweli water project in Sri Lanka since 1998, and one of the longest canals in South East Asia, the UECP is an Asian Development Bank (ADB) funded project of the Ministry of Mahaweli Development and Environment.

The Upper Elehera Construction Project (UECP) comprises two components. The first component is the construction of the Kalu Ganga-Moragahakanda Transfer Canal (including two tunnels) that will transfer water between the Kalu Ganga and Moragahakanda reservoirs.The second component is the construction of the Upper Elahera Canal that connects the Moragahakanda reservoir to the existing reservoirs Huruluwewa, Manankattiya, Eruwewa and Mahakanadarawa (including in total 28 km of tunnels). These reservoirs feed existing irrigation and water supply schemes.

China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd. has been awarded the contract to construct a 27.7 km-long tunnel as part of the 95.86 km-long North Central Great Canal Project.

The 27.7 km tunnel will be constructed from Koduruwawa to Namalpura via the conserved forests and sanctuaries in Giritale and Hurulu as a package of Mahaweli Water Security Investment Programme which is implemented with ADB funds.
